Evaluation (Question 2)

How does your media product represent particular social groups?



The character in the grudge has inspired us on how to represent our character. We wanted our character to look psychotic and at the same time scary to make it memorable in the viewers' minds.


The character from the grudge (left photo) is represented as a spooky, alarming character, this is because the genre is horror and not thriller. Opposed to our character, she is represented as vulnerable, isolated and eerie. I would say that the only similarities in both of the characters are the costumes and the make ups. But their roles in both individual films are very different as the genres are very opposite.


Our product does not clearly represent a particular social groups as there is only one character being shown. However, we would consider that our product could represent any social groups. Firstly, the main focal point of the character is a young female, therefore, this could attract young female audience. It could also attract men as they are more in to hard, tough film genres like the genre of our title sequence film. It does not represent any specific social class, therefore I would say that both the characters from the grudge and our title sequence(four walls) could be aimed for 15 and above ages.
